As soon as you receive a wedding invitation, your main starts racing toward two things one is the wedding dress that you are going to wear and the other is the wedding gift that you need to buy. These wedding gifts mean that you will have to spend money and in turn means that you will have to make very effort to meet this month budget. In the end if you have got two or three wedding invitations then I am pretty sure that you will have over spend your budget.
There are a few things that you can do if you want to stay within budget and also want to buy something useful and meaningfulful.
Your first bet should be to get something which is on the registry list. A few years ago the shops that did this registry thing were only a handful of shops. These shops were expensive but now it seems that these are low range to high end range of retailers who do that. So you are off to a good start if the weeding couple has picked up an average retailer. But here too rush to the store or go online immediately to book your gifts. That way you can get your hands on something very meaningful and also within your budget.
Usually there is last minute rush to get a wedding that is where in a time crunch situation you will spend more money than you wanted to. You should get in early as that will help you pick the choicest of gifts within budget. The factor is that if you do not the gift of your choice then make sure that you go to the same retailer and look at the gifts in the catalog. That helps as sometimes they can deliver it directly without extra cost.
Your second bet is to get together and give the couple a group gift. Most of the time people are amenable to the idea because each will be spending less but can give a very good gift. So for example if there are ten people who are going to the wedding and each decides to give a gift of 50 dollars then that means that collectively you can give a gift worth 500 dollars.
This is huge money but again you need to act early as others may have bought the gift already and will not be able to participate in the group gift.
Make sure these two rules and you will always get a wedding gift within your budget.
